Forgot I had one of these in the cellar. Gosh darn amazing still after 5 years. No bubbles but the flavors were on point. (Had it this past week, not this morning.)

When you decide to clean out the fridge and reduce the stockpile. You open the savoured and aged Higher Math. Boozy and delicious!

5 years aged and this beer has FINALLY mellowed into something delicious and smooth. 17% and tastes like a cocoa cherry kriek.

Held on to two bottles from 2015. Figured I would crack them open for the 25th birthday year of Dogfish Head. Aged very well!

Got a little more cherry mustiness on this one, but I still love it. Tobacco, caramel, cherry, oak.

Strange beer, but all-in-all it ends up tasting like a barelywine blended with red wine. I'm down. 17% is there, but not objectionable

Love this beer! But it ain't cheap! Since it's no longer being made, it's only released intermittently. And at 17%, you don't need but one at a time.

10/20/2015 sweetness, definitely has the cherry and honeyish coat on the lips. Definitely aged well, unlike some others posting. Hopefully the others did just as well!
